Ruth Pt 2 | Chesed

Season 4 | Ruth Pt 2 | Chesed Welcome to Episode 2 of our series on Ruth. In this episode we talk extensively about the special relationship between Naomi and her daughters-in-law - Ruth and Orpah. Part of that discussion involves the Hebrew word 'Chesed', which is often translated as 'kindness'. But it's so much more than that. __ Each week, not only will we have an episode for you to listen to; but for those who support us on Patreon, we have a discussion guide that allows you to join the conversation. __ This podcast is a partnership between 40 Orchards and Processing Faith… 40 Orchards, with Steph and Lisa, invites people to wrestle through Biblical texts using the ancient Jewish concepts of midrash. In a 40 Orchards study, every question is safe, everyone is welcome, and every voice is valued. We believe there’s room for all of us. No person and no question is off limits—because we know that together we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good. You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40orchards.org. Processing Faith is a space created by Jason Steffenhagen for people to do exactly that…process their faith. It’s not one thing…but more like a good recipe. It’s like 1 part pastoral care, 1 part theological exploration, and 1 part wrestling with all the questions. You can learn more about Processing Faith and sign-up for a free 45 min session by going to processingfaith.com. __ We started a Patreon site for those who would like to financially support this podcast.
